It’s the principles of the thing Pickering tells Seaton land exchange panel to show some respect to growth management study Tw o teens injured after car plows into crowd PICKERING —Tw o teens were taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital Thursday af- ternoon after a car drove into a group of students in front of Dun- barton High School, Durham po- lice say. Details were sketchy at press time, but a police official said the accident occurred at 3 p.m. at the corner of Whites Road and Shep- pard Avenue, just as students were getting out of school. “Two students weren’t hurt seri- ously but they were taken to Ajax- Pickering hospital,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham Regional Po- lice spokesman. He said the stu- dents were walking on the sidewalk in front of the school at the time of the crash. Police are still investigating. BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Give Pickering’s growth manage- ment study the respect it deserves and keep your nose out of the agricultural preserve. That sums up Pickering council’s official position on the draft set of principles issued by the North Pickering Land Exchange and Review Panel to guide the valua- tion, exchange and future development of Seaton. “This committee should never have been put togeth- er by the Province,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. “There’s no one from Pickering on the panel, not even an auditor to tell us what the value of the land (being exchanged is),” he said. “The whole document is a farce.” The Province is in the middle of exchanging lands it owns in Seaton for private lands in Uxbridge and Rich- mond Hill as part of a deal with developers to end a long and drawn-out battle at the Ontario Municipal Board. It appointed the panel, led by former Toronto mayor David Crombie, to solicit public and municipal input on the draft principles before Oct. 24. Pickering councillors approved a staff report Mon- day night, telling the panel the City’s growth manage- ment study should be taking the lead role in planning for the development of Seaton, and principles 3 and 6 should be scrapped. Principle 6 designates the Duffin-Agricultural Pre- serve to be used for agriculture in perpetuity, which the City argues is beyond the Province’s mandate because they are privately owned lands.

So good, in fact, that students, staff and parent volunteers won the Durham District School Board’s ‘Hey we’re lookin’good this summer’contest. The contest for 14 years has recognized school communities for their efforts to beautify their school properties, namely by planning, planting and maintain- ing gardens. Six finalists were chosen in August and asked to describe their garden and its educational benefits. Mary Brown, the board’s act- ing communications officer, at the Oct. 21 board meeting an- nounced the Ormiston communi- ty was this year’s winner. Ormis- ton principal Ruth de Jonge and school council chairman Melin- da Medri were on hand to accept the winner’s cheque of $300 and a large plaque the school can keep for a year. The runner-up was William Dunbar Public School in Picker- ing, also awarded a plaque for a year and $200. The remaining fi- nalists were Walter E. Harris Public School in Oshawa, Roland Michener Public School in Ajax, Uxbridge Public School in Uxbridge and Durham Contin- uing Education in Oshawa. Melinda Medri and Ruth de Jonge (second from right and right) accept their award for Ormiston Public School. Pre- senters were Grant Yeo (left) and Elizabeth Roy. DURHAM —The number of portables in use at Durham public schools is expected to drop below 400 this year. Jack Massie, the Durham District School Board’s facilities superin- tendent, at the Oct. 21 board meeting reported the system began the year with 426 portable class- rooms. That number will drop fur- ther as students occupy new addi- tions at schools such as Lakeside Public School in Ajax and Dunbar- ton High School in Pickering. In the 1998/1999 school year, there were 580 portables in use. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler said Mr. Massie’s report was “won- derful news. “In that short time frame, we’ve eliminated 154 portables,” she said. Answering a question from Brock-Scugog Trustee Nancy Lo- raine, Mr. Massie said the board has been able to get rid of its older portables, including some dating back to the 1960s.

Number of public school portables continues to decline DURHAM –– The Durham Col- lege Skills Train- ing Centre was the place to be as Health and Safety Week kicked off this past Monday. The eighth an- nual week was hosted by the Os- hawa and Area Labour Manage- ment Safety Committee. “Accidents happen to some- one else, don’t they? Or are we that someone else... be careful and be safe,” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle told the more than 100 students in attendance for the kick-off. “Your families and yourselves deserve it.” Safety Week events have in- cluded informa- tion sessions at high schools throughout Durham and the Home Depot in Ajax. The Con- struction Safety Association of Ontario acts as sponsor for the weeklong event with participation from local firms and trade unions, the Ministry of Labour and the Wo rkplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Speaking at the kickoff, Sam Stanois, WSIB construction sec- tor manager, said 300 people die and another 700 lose limbs in workplace acci- dents in Canada every year. “Workplace safety starts with employers, but it starts with you as well,” he said.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market. As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

The two were feeling ill and went for medical treatment. Symp- toms were identified in Au- gust and early September. There have been 26 con- firmed human cases and 45 probable cases in Ontario. City defends growth study serve has since been identi- fied for future growth in the City’s growth management study for north Pickering, which was launched in Feb- ruary. If Pickering hadn’t iden- tified the preserve in the study, it would never have been included in the panel’s guidelines, said Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Holland. “It makes it confusing for people at the end of the day and the Province has the ample smokescreen to push Seaton through,” he said. Coun. Holland said the March 31 deadline for sec- ondary plan approval is proof the Province is in a rush to push the develop- ment of Seaton through, likely before next year’s provincial election. “We have to be prepared for the reality the Province is going to come here very soon whether we like it or not,” he said. There’s no doubt Picker- ing caught the attention of the Province by identifying the agricultural lands in its study, said Mayor Wayne Arthurs. Correspondence to the City from provincial offi- cials last April still referred to the preserve as provin- cially-owned lands, he said. “The panel and the Province in this instance should stick to their knit- ting, and their knitting is the Crown lands in Seaton,” he added. “Seaton has had a long history of multiple govern- ments but this City, I be- lieve, wants to see appropri- ate development and struc- tures occur within those holdings.” Local councillors also expressed concern for the March 31 deadline as ex- pressed in Principle 3. They argued the time frame is un- realistic and doesn’t take into account the City’s growth management study, which will take a minimum of eight months to complete. Any plan for the devel- opment of Seaton must be a “made-in-Pickering plan”, said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. He said he supports the planning proce- dures the City has in place under the Planning Act. Wa rd 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner pointed out the Crombie panel doesn’t have native representation, but the growth management sub- committee looking at terms of reference for the study will ensure the rights of First Nations to protect bur- ial and heritage sites aren’t ignored. CITY from page 1 P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Double cohorts face difficult scenario To the editor: Re: Double cohort doublespeak. As two graduating groups of students apply to post-secondary institutions, the mantra of Diane Cunningham, minister of colleges and universities, appears to be, ‘there will be a space for every qualified student’. What exactly does this mean? The number of expected applications could potentially double and will certainly be far greater than ever before. If colleges and universities, through government un- derfunding and mismanagement, are forced to severely restrict enrolment, the grades required for acceptance must rise significantly. Students who, in any other year would have been admitted, are no longer accept- able. While there may be space it may nei- ther be in the school nor the program of choice. Obviously, these students should have made themselves more “qualified”.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 25, 2002 Politics is a funny kind of game and one I enjoy observing... from a distance. Although I helped out in a few campaigns in my younger days, I’ve yet to get caught up in the excite- ment of an election since moving from Hogtown five years ago. Maybe it’s because every time I think of lend- ing a hand I get hit with a good old- fashioned dose of cynicism. Premier Ernie Eves’s Progressive Conservative party seems to be get- ting a rough ride in the media of late, much of it well-deserved. First, we have former tourism minister Cam Jackson living high off the hog in To ronto, as thousands of taxpayers’ dollars were spent on steak dinners, rooms in the finest hotels and the oc- casional drink thrown in for good measure. Surely, the Burlington MPP (about the same distance from Toron- to as Whitby) should have taken more care with the public purse strings and eaten and slept at home more often. Next, we see more of the rustling, rather than the consumption, of cattle in the person of John Snobelen. It seems the Mississauga West MPP has “created a crisis” of his own by spend- ing much of his time on his ranch in Oklahoma rather than looking after the interests of his constituents. Finally, a little perception problem in our own backyard has developed for Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, minister of enterprise, opportunity and innovation. It seems Mr. Flaher- ty’s minions couldn’t see the forest for the trees as they counted the thou- sands ($2.1 million) in donations dur- ing his failed leadership campaign last spring. Nothing seemed out of place when Norm Picov, owner of a small race- track in Ajax, donated $80,000. Per- haps no eyebrows would have been raised had Mr. Picov not had an appli- cation before the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for 800 slots at his racetrack. No rules were broken, but everyone agrees the perception isn’t great. Mr. Picov did, however, manage to donate $10,000 to Mr. Eves’s campaign — hedging one’s bet, I guess you could call it. With a provincial election expect- ed next spring, it’s a good bet Tory spin doctors will be working overtime in order to mitigate the political dam- age. Mr. Jackson may have to settle for Grits over filet mignon next time around, Mr. Snobelon may have to dismount, and Mr. Flaherty may have to bring in some bean counters from his old ministry (finance) to keep close watch on all his donations. Mr. Picov, of course, will quickly come to the realization there are no exactors in politics. LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Betting is Conservatives face difficult election run-up It’s often difficult to break from tradition, simply because tradition tends to prove the old adage about fixing something that isn’t broken. That’s as true today in relation to the traditional school year as it was when that calendar was introduced generations ago. Students started school in the fall, broke temporarily to ob- serve the Christmas season and then resumed learning, save for a week in March, until late in the spring season. For students from Grade 1 all the way up to their last year of high school, it all culminated in a lengthy holiday stretch be- tween late June and early September. Unfortunately, the traditional summer holiday creates learn- ing and retention gaps in more than a few students, often re- quiring a review period when classes resume each fall. One of the solutions, in some quarters at least, was the introduction of a modified school year, currently in place in two Durham Re- gion public elementary schools. The modified school calendar covers all of the same curricu- lum and offers all the same provincially mandated amount of so-called instructional days. As well, sports and clubs as offered by the traditional sched- ule would remain. Under a modified school calendar, though, students might have five weeks of summer holidays instead of nine, with other scheduled breaks slotted in and spaced evenly throughout the school year. Now, officials at Altona Forest Public School in Pickering are taking the idea a step further in considering the implemen- tation of both calendars at that school if sufficient interest is shown. Studies on the modified school year tend to show they no- ticeably benefit students. Youngsters have better retention of material they have learned in class. The modified calendar also promotes continuity in lessons and, in some cases, makes it eas- ier for families to reinforce in-school material at home. Parents belonging to the Altona Forest P.S. school communi- ty have an opportunity to explore what’s being offered. Other school councils in the community would do well to find out more about the modified calendar and share with its communi- ty the potential benefits and drawbacks. And learning more, after all, is what it’s all about when it comes to our children. Perhaps a growing number of parents will find there are modifications that can be found to benefit everyone.

Despite zero leads, how- ever, the Durham Regional Police officer remains hope- ful, yet realistic, the half- decade-old mystery will eventually be solved. “It’s another year with no leads and no sightings, which leads us to believe she may not be alive. But I still hold out hope she is alive... some- where... we just haven’t found her,” said Det. Arnold, his voice trailing. Last Tuesday marked the fifth anniversary of the day the Port Perry woman van- ished without a trace. The young mother was last seen Oct. 15, 1997 in downtown Oshawa, after dropping off her two-year- old son earlier at a day care in Port Perry. Ms. Furnandiz, 18 at the time, hitchhiked from Port Perry to Oshawa, where she spent the day visiting friends at a Colbourne Street room- ing house. She left the city about 3:30 p.m., planning to hitchhike to Port Perry. She never made it. Since then police have followed leads across Cana- da and the United States, reinterviewing 70 witnesses last year after the case was reopened. Despite a team of investi- gators working on the file for five months in 2001, the cre- ation of a tip hotline, a Child Find poster campaign and dozens of reported sightings, the fate of Ms. Furnandiz re- mains unknown. Det. Arnold has a hard time believing she simply ran away, given the bond she had with her young son, Stefan, now being raised by her par- ents. “The fact there was no bank account activity, no health card activity, no extra bags taken, no clothes packed and no contact with family or friends” discounts the theory her disappearance was by design, says Det. Arnold, adding the file re- mains open. Ms. Furnandiz is white, 5- foot-9, 164 pounds, with shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She has tattoos, including a spider on one ankle, ‘Stefan’ on the other ankle and a red heart with an arrow through it on her left shoulder. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Arnold at (905) 579-1520, ext. 5410, or Crime Stoppers at 905-436- TIPS. JAMI FURNANDIZ PICKERING —The YMCA is offering a free information session to help kids get out of the house and into the workplace.

That’s why a number of libraries, Durham Region, the Province and local organizations and businesses are teaming up in a new re- gionwide program this month. ‘Books For Babies’ is a literacy project in- tended to make parents of newborns aware of the im- portance of reading to their children, says Dinah Gough, head of children’s services at Oshawa Public Library. “We now know how important it is to get children started early,” she said. Studies show children who are read to as infants are more likely to develop as better readers, she said. ‘Books For Babies’ will target parents of newborns, linking the services of Durham Region’s health depart- ment and local libraries. Public health nurses who visit new parents will take a package of information with them. In that package, along with tips for parents, will be a ‘Books For Ba- bies’ pamphlet, listing all library branches in Durham, some tips about reading to children and a coupon that can be redeemed at any library branch for a free book, night light and library card for the baby. “This will get them started really early,” Ms. Gough said. “We are really thrilled about it.” Parents aren’t expected to use the coupon immedi- ately but ‘Books For Babies’ organizers hope they’ll eventually head to the library for age-appropriate books. “You don’t have to be able to buy your own baby li- brary. That’s what libraries are for,” Ms. Gough said. Ms. Gough said once parents are aware of the li- braries, they can not only borrow books but also start getting involved in regular programs for children. These range from story times for toddlers to arts and crafts sessions and book clubs for older children. All libraries in Durham are on side and are inform- ing their staff about the program, ensuring everyone knows about it and promotes it, she said. The program kicked off at Oshawa Public Library on Oct. 11, with Finance Minister Janet Ecker, MPP for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, as keynote speaker. The many partners and sponsors were also on hand, many with displays. The idea for the program was spear- headed by volunteer groups which work with their community libraries and library staffs, Ms. Gough said. The idea was to find a way to get parents involved in reading to their children and in their local libraries. Organizers worked on it and determined the need for a delivery system to get the package to new parents, she said. While work progressed, Ontario Early Years announced a similar program. Instead of letting this de- rail the program, the library folks got together with OEY and set up a joint program, with funding for three years. The public health nurses will deliver the kits with information they already hand out to new parents. ‘Books For Babies’has the potential to be a big pro- gram. Between 5,000 and 6,000 babies are born in Durham every year. Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Scu- gog, Uxbridge and Whitby libraries are involved. Partners are Friends of the Ajax Public Library, Friends of the Oshawa Public Library, Ontario Early Years, Ontario Power Generation, Durham Region, Whitby Public Library and Pickering Public Library. Va rious service clubs, community organizations and businesses are sponsoring the program. Patrons are popular children’s entertainer Raffi and renowned children’s author Robert Munsch.

The chairman of the Durham District School Board, at the Oct. 21 board meeting, was answering a question from Oshawa resi- dent Jane Hurst. Ms. Hurst had asked if a cancelled meeting with Ministry of Education staff, to discuss the role of trustees, had been resched- uled. “We haven’t resched- uled anything yet because in the last month our prior- ity has been for the search for the director,” replied Trustee Roy. Education director Grant Yeo, retiring in about three months, reiterated his be- lief that the Province can- celled the meeting because they didn’t want to gener- ate any further controversy after appointing supervi- sors to run three Ontario school boards. Ms. Hurst also asked if trustees on their own had determined what their role is, and Trustee Roy replied that working together for a single purpose has “really helped the group thing. “That is a start. Further from that, with the role, we will wait to see how that goes with the new director that has been chosen.” Asked by Ms. Hurst if trustees have “realized they may have gone out of bounds in the last year”, Tr ustee Roy said, “maybe the community’s response has helped,” adding it’s been “a treat” to work to- gether recently. Public board trustees since the term began two years ago have often fought over procedure and what can be discussed at public meetings. The meeting with the ministry was to have helped clarify the role of a trustee and encourage them to work better together as a group.

The board’s special edu- cation advisory committee (SEAC), at its meeting last month, recommended a Grant Yeo scholarship “in recognition of director Grant Yeo’s years of service to the Durham District School Board.” Mr. Yeo, director for six years, is retiring in January. The board is to introduce his replacement in about three weeks. “The scholarship would be awarded to an identified learning disabled student,” said Brock-Uxbridge Trustee and SEAC liaison Nancy Lo- raine, noting the board has created scholarships in the past for former directors, in- cluding Pauline Laing and Bruce Mather. Tr ustees were reluctant to approve the recommenda- tion at the Oct. 21 board meeting. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said when scholar- ships have been created in the past, thought has been given to the person they are named after, their priorities and what they like. She favoured waiting to approve the scholarship. “It would just give the di- rector an opportunity for input before we go ahead with this,” said Trustee Hop- per, noting that doesn’t mean she believes the scholarship is unwarranted. Mr. Yeo said he would think of it as “an honour” to have his name associated with the scholarship. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross also wanted to wait. He said the board should just re- ceive SEAC’s recommenda- tion at this point, calling for the formation of a committee to iron out the scholarship details. “I think we’d be setting precedent to take a motion from SEAC and (make it) policy,” he said. “No disre- spect to director Yeo. It shouldn’t become our rec- ommendation... in this meet- ing.” Asked for clarification around policies and proce- dures, Mr. Yeo said the board could appoint a committee and ask members to bring back scholarship specifics. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler described the schol- arship as a “wonderful” idea, recommending the board ap- prove it in principle at the meeting and set up a com- mittee “to work out the crite- ria and do all the housekeep- ing.” Trustees approved a com- mittee to report back to the board. Trustees Loraine, Ross and Melinda Crawford (Ajax) signalled they would sit on the committee, and SEAC chairman Laurie Beaton also volunteered to serve if needed. GRANT YEO Yeo’s leadership skills earn kudos BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX ––Detectives traced a 19-year-old robbery suspect after a cellphone was left behind at the scene of a violent Mac’s Milk heist in Ajax last month. A Pickering man was ar- rested and charged Wednes- day, but Durham Regional Police still need caller ID to track down the alleged ac- complice. Tw o bandits burst into the Westney Road South store Sept. 13, punched and kicked the 33-year-old clerk, and fled with maga- zines and cigarettes. One of the bandits dropped a cellphone during the robbery and returned, only to be locked out by the crafty clerk. The robber smashed a window and re-entered the store searching for the phone, but failed and fled empty-handed. Detective Craig Hudson, of the robbery unit, said that although “the phone is use- ful” to the investigation, it wasn’t the key to Wednes- day’s arrest. “It did help. It’s another piece of the puzzle and it’ll be evidence at the trial. Ob- viously cellphones hold data,” Det. Hudson offered. The victim wasn’t hurt during the assault. “But no- body deserves to have to deal with that stuff. He’s just a guy trying to earn a living,” he added. Sheldon Ralle McPher- son, of Radom Street, is charged with robbery and three counts of breach of probation. He was detained pending a bail hearing. Det. Hudson is counting on the public to help him identify the second suspect. Police released a photo- graph of the accomplice, captured on video by a store surveillance camera. The wanted man is de- scribed as white, about 24, with a thin build. He was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt pulled over his head. Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call Det. Hudson at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5362, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P EARN UP TO 50% MORE POINTS* WHEN YOU USE YOUR HBC CREDIT CARD AND HBC REWARDS CARD TOGETHER *Some exceptions apply.

The board’s business superin- tendent, at the Durham District School Board’s Oct. 21 meeting, was responding to Anthony Ru- sonik, a Whitby parent of two school-aged children, who asked about the school’s status during public question period. Though originally considered, a new school in the Lynde Shores community was eventually dropped from the board’s first system-wide accommodation and school improvement plan. It was not included in the second plan, approved earlier this year. Mr. Rusonik told the board his sense is many children in the area, perhaps as many as 40, are attending schools outside the community. He was concerned the board’s option to purchase a school site was about to expire or has expired. “Absolutely we will require the site before the option agree- ment expires,” said Mr. Trbovich. “We actually have two sites and we’re thinking of consolidating them and building a larger school.” Facilities superintendent Jack Massie said the board is monitor- ing the situation closely, but un- derstands there are 181 pupils who would attend a new school, short of the roughly 300 needed to begin the process of building. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 PAGE 15 A/P Ms. Elizabeth Dowdeswell has been named President of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.

Pickering lad eases pain for troubled children Boy’s toy drive donation makes sure kids can play around at new women’s shelter BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING —Christmas came early this year for Lighthouse, cour- tesy of a Pickering student. Brian Mott, in Grade 5 at Bayview Heights Public School, spearheaded a committee of students at his school that collected toys for the soon-to-be- opened Ajax and Pickering women’s shelter, resulting in about four trunks full of items. To thank Brian, his schoolmates and staff members for their effort, Yvonne Eglinski, the centre’s fund- raising resource co-ordinator, and ad- ministrative assistant Karen Camp- bell, were at the school Monday to present an appreciation plaque. “They’ll be in the centre for the children who are going to be staying there temporarily,” Ms. Eglinski said of the toys. She noted some toys will be given to kids staying at the centre as birth- day and Christmas gifts, or when they just need a toy to make them feel more comfortable. Brian’s mom, Laurie-Anne, ex- plained the family used to collect clothing and toys every year to do- nate to Toronto womens’ shelters. When they moved to Pickering three years ago, there was no shelter here. But when they heard of the effort to create the new shelter, it was a natur- al to continue their work here. Brian donated some of his own toys, the family bought others, and relatives, schoolmates and staff members par- ticipated as well. However Brian isn’t resting on his laurels. He’s hoping his classmates are as generous when it comes to a book drive he plans for the shelter this year. Again, the first donations will come from his own collection, books the 10-year-old pupil no longer reads. “One of my friends already gave me some books,” Brian said in an in- terview. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Brian Mott, a Grade 5 student at Bayview Heights Public School in Pickering, was given a plaque from officials at the new women’s shelter in recognition of his efforts to provide toys for children staying there on a temporary basis. Marking the occasion with Brian were shel- ter officials Yvonne Eglinski (left) and Karen Campbell, who made a presentation to the stu- dent at his school Monday.

New caregivers can access helpful information Teen serves term as page at Queen’s Park AJAX —One thing Paula Gilchrist can’t say about the job of being a legislative page is it’s bor- ing. The Ajax resident fin- ished a one-month stint last Friday as a page at Queen’s Park. During that period, she spent time watching democracy in action, as well as meeting the Queen. “It’s been a very won- derful experience. I’ve got- ten a lot of fun out of it,” said Paula, who was on the job Sept. 23 to Oct. 18. “I get to see a lot of people and understand government and how it works.” The highlight of the ex- perience came when she met Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip Oct. 9, when the pages were taken to the CNE to see the monarch. “I talked with her. She asked what I did and I ex- plained to her,” Paula said. Was the 13-year-old ex- cited? “Yes I was, very.” Paula was also a little nervous. “I wasn’t expect- ing to speak with her, but I’m glad I did,” she stated. Prince Philip stopped as well. “He also asked if we worked part-time and what we did,” Paula said. “It was really fun.” Paula also saw news coverage of the visit and saw herself on TV. The Grade 8 student at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Picker- ing Village found out about being a page through a teacher. She applied and then re- ceived the good news by phone in June. As a page, “we basically serve the MPPs while they’re in the legislature. We give notes to them, get water and anything else they may need,” she said. “In the morning, we set up the MPPs’ desks. We also have some schooling and during school, we learn about the process of the legislature.” Asked if she would like to serve in government one day, Paula admitted, “I think I would.” The shenanigans of the MPPs can be humorous, but she noted, “We’re not suppose to laugh or any- thing, but it is kind of funny sometimes.” The day goes from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week. “It’s a bit of a long day, but it’s worth it,” she said. Each page receives a $10-a-day honorarium, which Paula saved up to “buy something big”. As for her regular schooling, Paula said she hasn’t fallen behind in the work. “My teachers have been really good about that. They’ve given me math, that’s about all.” Paula is also looking forward to getting back to school. “I want to see my friends and everything.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 www.durhamregion.com IN SELECTED AREA’S LOOKLOOK for your for your PERSONAL EDGE FLYER Delivering for the Future What do you call someone who runs their own business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always cheerful and courteous and who brings the product right to your door every time without fail while also trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science and auditioning for the first-chair saxophone in the school band?

You either buy a bigger home or increase the living space in the house you currently own. The ideal place to start is your base- ment. Many older homes have unfin- ished basements used for nothing more than storage, washing machines, the furnace and water heater. But it can be so much more than that. Basements can be converted into a family room, games room, a couple of extra bedrooms or even an apartment. Galletta General Contracting (GGC) can offer you many options to help solve your problem about increased living space. It also means that you won’t have to move which is great if you love the neighbourhood you live in. Depending on your budget you can choose from a simple practical makeover of your basement. New flooring could include carpeting along with drywalled ceiling and walls. Once finished add a few pieces of furni- ture, a coat of paint and maybe a televi- sion. It’s a great place for the kids to play or escape for a little relaxation. You could also add a gas fireplace, recessed lighting in the drywalled ceiling or even install a drop ceiling if you have sufficient clearance. If you have the space you could add a wet bar, pool table and an additional two piece bathroom. As children get older the basement is an ideal place to add a couple of bedrooms or even an apartment. If local regulations allow, you could build an apartment with a separate entrance to create a rental income. Galletta’s ideas are endless when it comes to renovating your basement. So, instead of buying that bigger house, discover all of the exciting things you can do with your basement.

Local cadets play host to Saskatchewan peers City traffic turns heads of visitors BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —A group of 33 air cadets from Saskatchewan touched down in Pickering last weekend in what for many was their first taste of city life. “I can’t get over the traffic here. It’s awesome,” said Jaylene Boulding, lead air cadet of 691 Indian Head Air Squadron. Her hometown of McLean, about a half hour outside of Indi- an Head, is a small farming com- munity of only 100 people. Indi- an Head has a population of 1,800 and is located in the rural heart of southeastern Saskatchewan. The 691 Indian Head Squadron flew in Thursday to spend a few days of sightseeing with their hosts, the 856 Picker- ing Air Cadets Squadron. After being welcomed offi- cially to Pickering last Thursday night by Mayor Wayne Arthurs, the group boarded a bus Friday for Niagara Falls, where they climbed on the Maid of the Mist. They also visited the War Plane Heritage Museum in Hamilton to see one of two flyable Lancast- ers. Then it was off to Toronto Saturday to take in the CN To wer, the SkyDome, the Hard Rock Café and some shopping along Yonge Street. Sunday was spent at the To ronto Zoo before flying back to Indian Head later that day. The Indian Head Squadron returns home with at least one souvenir in its pocket, a portrait of the Queen presented to them by the Pickering Squadron. It commemorates the role of the local air cadets at the recent Queen Jubilee Festival. Likewise, the Indian Head Squadron, led by commanding officer Lieutenant William Peake, presented its flag to its Pickering hosts to fly during their visit. “We have national courses so there’s a good chance they could see one another there in the fu- ture,” said Major Colette Blight, Pickering’s commanding officer. JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Sergeant Jeremy Krushelnicky of the 691 Indian Head Air Squadron gets a warm welcome from 856 Pickering Air Cadet Squadron Sgt. Laura Hallett. The Indian Head Squadron spent a few days in the area this week.

BY JEREMY LE PAGE Staff Writer AJAX ––Doctors want colleagues and the public to know more about col- orectal cancer. Lakeridge Health and Community Partners will host the third annual On- cology Conference at Carruther’s Creek Community Church, 599 Bayly St., Thursday, Nov. 7, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will feature six keynote speakers, all specialists in the study and treatment of colorectal cancer, as well as breakout sessions with thera- pists and registered nurses. The confer- ence is intended to increase awareness about the disease, and promote the ad- dition of a colorectal treatment facility at the Durham Regional Cancer centre. Keynote speakers will include Dr. Ken Woolfson from Lakeridge Health Oshawa, who will give an overview of colorectal cancer screening and pre- vention; Dr. Andy Smith from Sunny- brook hospital, who will discuss cur- rent options for colorectal cancer pa- tients; Dr. Peter Dixon of the Durham Cancer Centre; Dr. Jose Chang; Dr. Malcolm Moore; and Barry Stein, president of the Colorectal Cancer As- sociation of Canada. A panel of sur- vivors and their families will also pro- vide discussion at the conference. Dr. Dixon, a radiation oncologist and CEO at the Durham Regional Can- cer Centre, says the event will help people understand the importance of having a colorectal treatment facility in the region. There is good evidence, he says, that patients living close to a centre have a better success rate when fight- ing the disease. Currently, patients in Durham have to travel to Toronto or Kingston for treatment, he adds. “This is an Ontario issue,” he says, explaining how the Durham Centre would take colorectal patients from not just the region, but neighbouring re- gions as well. Tr eatment for the disease is broken down into two groups. Post-surgery chemotherapy - to decrease future risk of the disease; and palliative, or non- curative treatment, intended to ease suffering or prolong the life of patients during progressive stages of the dis- ease. Dr. Chang, a medical oncologist at the Durham Regional Cancer Centre, says he hopes to see a colorectal facil- ity in Durham by the end of the year, not just for treatment, but for clinical studies. Most of the studies currently done in Durham focus on breast and lung cancer, he says, because an ex- pansion of research requires an expan- sion of staff. The conference costs $75 per per- son. Patients may attend for $50, but no patient will be refused due to in- ability to pay. Call 905-576-8711 ext. 3416 for further details.

Live Help @ Pickering Public Li- brary is this year’s large library cate- gory recipient of the Minister’s Aw ard for innovation. “We’ve had a very high response rate to the service,” said Cynthia Mearns, the library’s chief executive officer. “People are very pleased with it and they like the responses they’ve been getting,” she said. The award, which recognizes new ideas in public library services, is of- ficially awarded to Pickering Library at the Ontario Library Association conference in January. But ministry officials chose this week to unveil the winners as part of the 17th annual Ontario Public Li- brary Week, which runs Oct. 21 to 27. Live Help fits this year’s theme, which is ‘it’s not by the book any- more’ and highlights the importance of Internet access and electronic ser- vices at local libraries. Pickering was one of the first li- braries in the country to launch an in- stant reference service when it launched Live Help at the beginning of this year via its Web site, www.picnet.org. While many libraries have e-mail reference services, the idea of a ref- erence chat line was new, said Ms. Mearns. “Patrons can have live personal conversations with our reference staff from their home, work or anywhere,” she said. “Before, if you had a refer- ence question, you had to come in, phone or e-mail the reference desk.” Questions can be about virtually anything. Reference staff have an- swered requests for information on everything from the City of Pickering to help with homework. “We have someone on it all the time. It’s not the only thing they do but when a request comes in, they’re immediately on it,” said Ms. Mearns. There may be a slight delay in some cases if reference staff are working on another reference re- quest, just like a traditional reference desk. Live Help is available Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. That’s roughly the same hours as the reference desk, said Ms. Mearns.

Durham para- medics are offering the following advice on how to stay safe, and remain spooky on Halloween night. • Plan on wearing bright cos- tumes with visible reflective stripping. Motorists can’t see you if you’re wearing a dark costume. • Know how to dial 911 before going out trick-or-treating. All 911 calls are free of charge, even from a pay phone. • Carry a flashlight with you that has fresh batteries in it. • Remember to review CPR skills before Halloween. Some candies can often be choking hazards for small chil- dren. • Have a good meal before going out trick-or-treating. That way you won’t fill up too much on treats. • Plan your trick-or-treating route before going out for the night. You should always have a re- sponsible adult escorting you on Halloween night. • Make sure all your treats are thoroughly checked by an adult before being eaten. • Carry a bright-coloured bag for your candy and make sure to stay on well-lit streets in familiar neighbourhoods. Always trick-or-treat in groups and make sure to look both ways before crossing every street. • Homeowners, make sure your yard is clear of any obstacles such as ladders, hoses, dog leas- es, flower pots and anything else that may result in a trick-or- treater tripping and injuring themselves. • Drivers, remember to go very slowly and to be extra-cautious this Halloween. Children in dark costumes can be difficult to see. • Adult partygoers, remember to ensure there is a designated driver this Halloween night. Drive slowly and pay very close attention to children on the streets. AJAX ––Local seniors are invited to get a glimpse of the Third World nest Tuesday.

The first few slick centime- tres of snow are already on the roads, and you have a drive of several hundred kilometres ahead of you, a journey that must be made. If you have to drive in marginal conditions on a regular basis, and this is Canada so thousands must, be smart and be equipped. Make sure you are ade- quately dressed for outside weather, and that your car has been checked out and is properly prepared for win- ter driving. Keep your gas tank as full as possible, and make sure your heater is working before starting out. There are tips for winter driving on the Internet, but you can build yourself an emergency kit to carry in your trunk: 1.Have flares and re- flectors to warn other dri- vers if you get stuck; 2. A dead battery is one of the most common winter problems. So, a set of jumper cables is essential equipment for Canadian drivers; 3.Carry some extra warm clothing, blankets and emergency food sup- plies, especially if you are heading for remote areas. Bottled water and a few en- ergy bars take up very little space; 4.Make sure your an- tifreeze/coolant has not lost its potency. Better still, change it. There are a range of antifreeze products that can provide protection for up to five years or 250,000 km; 5.Always carry extra windshield washer fluid that is good for up to -40 C; and 6.Windshield scraper, flashlight, shovel, tire chains, a bag of sand or salt and even a tow rope, are all recommended. If condi- tions get really bad, pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers and hang a cloth from your radio aerial, as a distress signal. Stay in your car and do not attempt to set out on foot, unless you can see a building and you are cer- tain you can reach its shel- ter. Run your engine period- ically to keep warm, but be aware of the need to con- serve battery power, and crack open a window to prevent dangerous build up of carbon monoxide. From time to time, make sure your exhaust is clear of snow, and never let everyone in the car sleep at the same time. Planning sound safety procedures in advance makes for safe winter dri- ving. — News Canada www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 PAGE 27 A/P Marlin Travel Toronto departures.

Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 25, 2002 BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Editor DURHAM –– The General Motors Choir performs its swan song this fall. After its Christmas concerts at Eastdale Collegiate, the choir will shut down, ending 40 years of en- tertainment for communities throughout Ontario, fellowship for its members and fund-raising for local charities. “I’ve got mixed emotions,” said Ralph Shaw, a member of the choir from its start in 1962. “It’s been a good run. It’s been fun for 40 years. Unfortunately, not many young people are joining. It’s al- most become the GM retirees choir.” This year, when GM of Canada responded to the choir’s request for funding, the company asked how many active GM employees were members. The embarrassing answer, said Shaw, was none. GM, which has provided about $20,000 a year to the choir, then decided to pull the funding, he said. “It’s hard for GM to do what they did but I can see there’s not too many active employees re- ceiving any benefit from this,” said Shaw, who is the choir’s busi- ness manager. He is the only one of the origi- nal choir members, who joined up in 1962, still singing with the group. He joined in his early 20s. Between 1931 and 1950, the original GM choir operated as the Motor City Choir, started by a local church choir director who supplemented the GM voices with those from his choir. In 1962, a group of men from the car plant approached GM’s recreational council to get the choir going again. Men and women were invited but, there being few female employees and even fewer who wanted to join the choir, it was decided to have just a men’s group, said Marion Buttery, who worked at GM then and was one of the few women who want- ed to join the choir. It wasn’t until 1972, when more women employ- ees and spouses joined, that the choir became mixed, she said. She was one of the women to sing out with the choir that year. The choir grew, hitting its peak at about 64 members and per- forming about 20 shows a year, throughout southern Ontario. “We memorized everything,” Buttery said. During most of its 40 years, the choir had one director, Janet Kins- men and one pianist, Doris Beat- on. Both retired several years ago, which made members realize they were older than the two women were, Shaw said. Today, Kelly King, a daughter and granddaugh- ter of GM employees, directs the choir of about 40 members. In recent years, with dwindling numbers, the choir has been per- forming about a dozen shows. It’s raised funds for a variety of local charities, including $30,000 for the Durham Region Lung Associ- ation. In turn, the choir has received the Ontario Lung Association Meritorius Service Award, the Durham Council for the Arts Acorn Award and the City of Os- hawa’s 75th anniversary award. The highlight of each year has been the Christmas concert for GM family and friends. This year’s free concerts take place Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at Eastdale. The theme is ‘A Sentimental Jour- ney,’ Buttery said, with the choir performing some of its recent popular songs. Tickets are expected to go fast once they’re available in mid-No- vember, she said. After that, the choir will hold a social evening Jan. 10 to celebrate 40 years. Anyone associated with the choir, whether as a singer, a musi- cian or a dressmaker, for example, is invited. For more information, call Shaw at 905-725-1969. Claremont welcomes the Ark BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor PICKERING — Gabrielle Unter- mann’s recent trip shopping to Toronto rocked. And as a result, Claremont United Church will be swingin’, rockin’ and doin’lots of singin’Friday, Nov. 1. With summer fading away and still some time before beginning to worry about Christmas arrangements, the church’s musical director headed south- west not too long ago looking for musi- cal entertainment that would bring the congregation, area residents and other music lovers together for a night of fun for all ages. “I brought home anything that I thought looked interesting and suitable for the congregation,” said Untermann. However, she quickly settled on a production by Mary Donnelly and George Strid, ‘Don’t Rock the Ark!’, a story about Noah. “It was a combination of the music and the number of people who could get involved. The actual speaking parts are quite simple,” she said, noting the longest role has 11 lines of dialogue. There are over 20 members in the cast, ranging in age from eight to 70. Untermann noted a swing, overture, hoedown, a classical piece, and light rock are among the half-dozen or so mu- sical numbers that will be interspersed with short theatrical scenes. She added the production could become an annual tradition. Rehearsals began in Septem- ber, with the entire production running about 25 minutes. Opening the evening are the Dixieland jazz stylings of the Swing Tyme Melodies group, followed by local fiddler Brodie Ward. Ti ckets are $5 and available at the church door, 5052 Old Brock Rd. The activity gets under way at 7:30 p.m. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Untermann. “I think there is some- thing for everyone. I really think so. Halloween Spooky Fun Nights!

General Motors group to sing for final time this holiday season DURHAM ––A major talent in North American folk music plays the Vital Spark Folk Society tomorrow (Saturday). Garnet Rogers brings his songs about ordinary people and the victo- ries of daily life to the stage at the Brooklin Community Centre, 45 Cas- sels Rd., at 8 p.m. Rogers, who with his older broth- er, Stan, formed one of the most in- fluential acts in folk circles, is de- scribed by the ‘Boston Globe’ as a “charismatic performer and singer.” His over-the-top humour and quick wit move his audience from tears to laughter and back again. His interest in music developed early, as he and his brother listened to country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry on radio and prac- tised their harmonies. The younger Rogers taught himself to play ukulele, flute, violin and guitar. Rogers has been featured on nu- merous television and radio pro- grams, including Much Music, Gabereau, Morningside, Mountain Stage and All Things Considered. He has been a headliner at concert venues and festivals such as Wolf Trap, Lincoln Centre, and Art Park, sharing the stage with performers such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Billy Bragg, Bill Monroe, Ferron, Greg Brown, and Guy Clark. An independent person, Rogers has turned down offers from major la- bels in order to do his music his own way. His ninth solo CD is ‘Firefly’ which features eight new songs. He writes about how people live and cope and find their way through an often imperfect and wearying world. There are also two non-original songs on that CD. Tickets are $16. Voluntary mem- berships cost $10 per year (Septem- ber to June) and members may pur- chase four discounted ($14) tickets per show. Tickets are available at Mitchell’s Hardware, 15 Church St., Brooklin, and Lafontaine Trading Post, 106 Dundas St. W., Whitby. Any remaining tickets are available at the door the night of the show. The hall is wheelchair-accessible. The show is a non-smoking event. The Vital Spark Folk Society is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run folk club, in existence since 1990. The following movies are opening in local the- atres this weekend.

Athletes from all age divisions from across Durham Region braved the cold temperatures to run at the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) Cross-Country Championships at Beverley Morgan Park. The meet was hosted by Pick- ering High School of Ajax. Amber Cushnie of Pine Ridge Secondary School won the midget girls’ event, covering the 2.975-kilo- metre course in 11 minutes, 44 sec- onds. Cushnie finished just ahead of Carley Dart of Whitby’s Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School. Kailey Jasper of Anderson Collegiate in Whitby finished third. The other local winner was Pick- ering High’s Ryan Finn, who contin- ues his domination of the distance events this year after a fine high school track and field showing last year. Finn claimed the junior boys’ crown in a time of 21:06 for the 5.866-km distance. He edged out teammate Andrew Wilcox, who fin- ished second in 21:47. Finishing third was Kyle Binns of Oshawa’s Eastdale Collegiate. Lilianne Sparkes of Charles Gar- nier in Whitby won the junior girls’ crown with a time of 15:17 for the 3.8-km course. Lauren Simeson of Monsignor Paul Dwyer of Oshawa finished second in 15:23, followed by Kelsey Nemeth of Sinclair Sec- ondary School in Whitby in 16:07. The senior girls’ LOSSA crown also went to a Charles Garnier ath- lete. Diane Nukuri won the event in 18:09 over the 4.93-km course. Danielle Binns, of Eastdale, (19:41) was second and Sarah Weir (20:19) of Oshawa’s O’Neill Collegiate fin- ished third. It was a sweep for Oshawa’s R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate in the midget boys’ category. Rob Brown won the 4.93-km event in 17:54, followed by Marcus Dillon in second in 18:15 and Sean Simeson in third at 18:20. Brendan Simeson of Paul Dwyer won the senior boys’ event, covering the 6.96-km course in 25:24. He was followed by teammate Andrew Hud- son in second place in 26:02.

Oshawa Generals begin busy weekend slate tonight BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor DURHAM –– A quirky schedule has re- sulted in the Oshawa Generals playing the fewest games through the first month of the Ontario Hockey League season. Thanks to a power outage in their season opener in Toronto, Oshawa has played just eight games thus far, producing a solid 6-2 record. But all that is about to change. The Generals play three games in three days this weekend en route to a busy November which sees them play 13 games. Oshawa hosts the Saginaw Spirit (4-3-1-2) today (Friday) at the Civic (7:35 p.m., CKDO), travel to Owen Sound (3-7-2-0) Saturday (7:30 p.m., CKDO) before returning home to face the London Knights (4-5-1-1) Sunday (6:35 p.m., CKDO). All three games will also be shown on Rogers Television. Oshawa enters the busy stretch riding a five- game winning streak, including a sweep of northern Ontario, beating Sault Ste. Marie 4-2 Sunday, on the heels of a 3-1 win in Sudbury Friday. Both victories came courtesy of three-goal outbursts in the third period and perhaps more importantly, as far as the Generals are con- cerned, both wins came without leading scorer Nathan Horton in the lineup. Horton suffered an undisclosed facial injury during a Thanksgiving Monday fight with Kingston’s Anthony Stewart and is expected to miss about four weeks of action. Neither Hor- ton, nor Oshawa coach and general manager George Burnett have been available for com- ment on the situation. Burnett has been in To ronto earlier this week at OHL meetings. Brandon Nolan (5th),Adam Berti (3rd),An- thony Aquino (7th) and Jamie Johnson (3rd), into an empty net, accounted for the Oshawa goals Sunday against Sault Ste. Marie. John- son, Colt King, Matt Maccarone, Evan Kot- sopoulos, Tobias Whelan and Tyler Cook had assists. Chris Beckford-Tseu, who continues to see the bulk of the work in goal, made 29 saves for Oshawa. GENERALS ROUNDUP DURHAM ––Whitby’s Sinclair Celtics won their second straight Durham field hockey championship with a 3-0 win over Pickering’s Dun- barton Spartans Monday. Hosting the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary Schools Athletics champi- onship tournament, Sinclair followed up on a 6-0 regular season with a pair of wins on Monday, also defeating Os- hawa’s O’Neill 4-1 in the semifinals. The Celtics will now compete at the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association championships beginning next Thursday at Ridley College in St. Catharines. “We’ll have a better shot at winning a game than we did last year,” says Sinclair coach Sue King, whose team failed to win in three tries during the 16-team provincial championships a year ago. “It’s pretty much the same team, so we’re hoping to build on the experience.” Jen Scott scored twice and Maari Wotherspoon once for the Celtics in the championship game. Melissa Rab- john earned the shutout in goal. Both Sinclair and Dunbarton (4-1- 1) earned byes into the semifinals after finishing first and second respectively during the regular season. In the quarterfinals, O’Neill beat Richardson and Pickering downed Ajax by identical 2-0 counts. Marta Janik scored both O’Neill goals. Kath McGill fired a hat trick and Wotherspoon added the other in Sin- clair’s semifinal win. Janik replied for O’Neill. Hayley Reeve scored the lone goal as Dunbarton edged Pickering 1-0 in the other semi. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 25, 2002 PAGE 31 A/P Upper Bowl Seats $16 Lower Bowl Seats $24 Each ticket includes one free admission to the Hockey Hall of Fame (expires December 31, 2002) Group Rates Available from $11.

Moving up from AA to AAA for the first time, the Bowmanville separate high school distin- guished itself at the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics soccer championships Tuesday at Civic Fields. Both the junior and senior teams reached the final, where the juniors prevailed 4-1 over Ajax’s Archbishop Denis O’Connor Chargers and the se- niors lost 5-2 to Pickering’s Dunbarton High School Spartans. In fact, if it hadn’t been for Dunbarton’s ultra- talented Jaime Peters in the senior game, the Roy- als might have celebrated double gold. Playing in the rain on a soggy pitch, the senior Royals held in there against the strong Dunbarton team and were tied 2-2 until the second half, when Peters led the Spartans to victory. A 15-year-old centre midfielder who is eligible to play junior, Peters completed a hat trick in the second half to help Dunbarton earn a trip to the On- tario Federation of Schools Athletic Association championships next June. “It felt really nice,” said Peters, who plays for North York Azzurri and is already drawing attention from teams in Europe. “This will be my first time at OFSAA, so it will be a great experience.” Despite a so-so regular season in which Dunbar- ton posted a 3-3-1 record, the Spartans reeled off three straight playoff wins, also beating Ajax’s Notre Dame 1-0 on Tuesday and archrival St. Mary of Pickering 2-1 last Friday. Peters scored all three goals in those games. “He’s a very special player,” Dunbarton coach Sean Pedersen said of Peters after the champi- onship win. “He’s got great skill and touch on the ball, exceptional fitness... He put this team on his shoulders last Friday for our quarterfinal win and then (in the final) he came through in the clutch and scored three huge goals.” Jamar Henry and Ricardo Reid also scored for Dunbarton in the final while Mark Barresse and Eric Shah replied for the Royals. “The guys have lived up to and actually exceed- ed my expectations,” said St. Stephen’s coach Shawn Carmichael. “It’s always difficult to lose a championship game, but I figure we gave it a good go.” After a 4-3-1 regular season, the Royals won two tight playoff games, getting past Whitby’s Austin 3-2 in the quarterfinals last week and Os- hawa’s Dwyer 2-1 in overtime Tuesday. St. Stephen’s junior team went one better, over- coming a 2-3 regular season with three straight 1-0 playoffs wins - over Oshawa’s O’Neill, Courtice and Austin - before dominating the Chargers in the final. “The boys decided to turn it around,” said coach Trevor Paziuk. “In the initial games, there was a lot of individual work, but they finally more or less came together and passed the ball around and played some good soccer.” Andrew Gumbinger led the way with three goals in the final while Brady Karpowicz scored the other St. Stephen’s goal. Xavier Martinez replied for the Chargers, who were coming off overtime wins of 1-0 over Dwyer in the semifinals Tuesday and 2-1 over Whitby’s All Saints in the quarterfinals last week. In the AA finals played on Monday, Ajax’s Richardson blanked Oshawa’s Roberts 3-0 in the junior division while Oshawa’s Pereyma downed Port Perry 1-0 in overtime in the senior division.

Durham College wins women’s softball title DURHAM ––Hosting the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association women’s fastball championships on a rainy week- end in Oshawa, the Durham College Lords wrapped up a record 10th provin- cial title with a thrilling 2-1 victory over North Bay’s Canadore College. Erin Smith, the sensational second- year player from Stratford, delivered the go-ahead run with a single in the sixth inning and then closed out her 13th win of the season with a hard-earned strike- out in the seventh.With two outs and a runner on first, Smith ran the count full and endured a series of foul balls be- fore finally getting the whiff to spark a hearty celebration. Smith also shone brightly in the tournament opener, a 3-0 win over Canadore in which she had an RBI and was named player of the game. In both games, Smith allowed only three hits over the full seven innings. Durham defeated Hamilton’s Mo- hawk College 7-4 in the semfinal. Donlands dumps Mario’s, Bank of Montreal also a winner in women’s hoops AJAX —Donlands Jewellers hand- ed the previously unbeaten East Side Mario’s its first loss of the season in Ajax Ladies Basketball League play Wednesday night. Both teams played good defence to limit clear shooting opportunities. Don- lands used its height advantage to gain offensive rebounds and score the inside basket. East Side used quick passing to get an outside shot. Donlands posted a 26-20 victory. Connie Joseph led the way for Donlands with nine points. Erinn Lynch netted 10 for East Side. In the second game, the Bank of Montreal posted a comfortable 42-20 win over Select Food Products.There were many scoring chances for both teams with the baskets falling for the bankers but bouncing out for Select, which continued to battle and never gave up. Carol Stephenson got the game- high 14 points for the bankers and Lori Lomberg replied with 12 for Select. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.

Haunted village a scary good time BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM ––As soon as you step out of the car and notice the cemetery, church, and log cabins looming in the darkness, your neck hairs stand on end. That will be the experience for many who visit the Scugog Shores Museum on Island Road starting Fri- day, Oct. 25 (tonight) and running until Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 6-9:30 p.m. each night. Port Perry High School’s OAC business class will host its annual haunted village. Teacher David Robin- son said there isn’t a more naturally scary location to host the town of ter- ror. “It started about four years ago. Probably the first big project we did was the haunted house at the Kinsmen Hall,” said Mr. Robinson. “It was pop- ular but limited by the size. It was just a hall and I saw how much the students could do. “From my visits to the location in the day-time, I thought here’s a place...I can’t think of a more natural- ly scary setting. The moment you get out of your car, the lighting, dark, and sounds tell you you’re going to be scared,” he added. The haunted village is one of many community projects groups within the class complete as their independent study project and all proceeds are do- nated to charities. Each event helps the business students learn about advertis- ing, marketing, and other aspects in- corporated in the course. Students are presented with a list of project ideas each year and given the opportunity to suggest new events by developing a business plan. Mr. Robin- son said some of the students who are organizing this year’s event volun- teered as spooksters for it in Grade 9. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Scott Symes, a student working on the project. “You get to work with kids. It’s very inde- pendent, one (project) you get to shine on your own. It’s a lot of responsibili- ty and I heard a lot of good things about the last one.” He said his group has received about 250 requests from students ask- ing if they can help scare visitors. “We send groups of eight with a tour guide and visit (17) different sta- tions where you get stories or scares and at the end of the night, you get a treat,” Mr. Symes said. Stations in- clude Frankenstein in the kitchen, a fu- neral in the church, old-time execution and more. “The place lends itself well to a creative mind - it’s a pretty scary place.” Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for students, and $1 off with a coupon being sent to schools and available in local stores. Half the proceeds go to the museum and the other half to the Special Olympics. More than 1,000 people attended the haunted village last year and this year students are hoping for twice as many.
